Jermichael Finley

The Giants’ safety was honored at the Thurman Munson Awards Dinner at the Grand Hyatt in Manhattan on Tuesday and told reporters he watched Super Bowl XLVIII with Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley.

Two teams going in opposite directions. That would be the best way to summarize this week’s battle between the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers. The Giants started out the season with six straight losses, while the Packers won five of their first six games. Since then New York has reeled off three straight wins, and Green Bay has dropped two in a row. Will both streaks continue this week?

Neil Keefe has tried to keep his Giants hype and confidence to a minimum (and he will revert back to that as the weekend approaches), but with the Giants in the NFC Championship Game, he can’t hold his feelings back at least for today.
